Cid here.

Wanted to leave a quick note and thank you to everyone who helped test my little inventions last month. They should be finalized and ready for official public release next month, but as promised those who helped will receive theirs earlier once ready. Just let me know where to send them off or I can contact you for pick up later.

On that note, I wanted to inquire if anyone had any requests or suggestions as to what I, or any other inventor here, should work on. Whether it's improvements or some alternate version of something that already exists here, or perhaps something similar from your own world.

While I am working with magitech, I am more interested in electrical and mechanical engineering, and I'd rather stay away from weaponry unless it's more for defensive or nonlethal use. So anything of that nature will be more my type.

Always appreciated.
Cid

During the month before last, when the tides of rifts brought more people to this world. This venerable one spoke with a being that looked to be made of stone who mentioned a 'dive suit'. For the purposes of exploring the deepest depths. This venerable one has obtained a bubble charm and it lasts for about two of this world's hours. The dive suit sounds as if it serves a similar purpose. But may not require magic to function.

Would you you be able to create or improve on one such that it could maintain air for a full day or longer?

Portable music devices that you can wear on your head! Ooo, I have my headphones with me, so I could totally show you how it's supposed to work, and you can even take it apart if you need to.

Yeah, I got an idea! My stock'a Saibamen is limited an' I could use a couple'a spares. You think you could figure out the formula to grow some more?

If we're looking more into mechanical engineering, it might be worth looking into mechanical methods for climate control on the ships, or even in building. It might also be worth having ways of mechanically generating power without any magic--redundancy is key to a stable system.

I think most everything else I've been thinking about is maybe a little...far fetched for now.

Emet-Selch and I were looking into making a simple propellor engine last month, but I got a bit busy. Let me share with you what schematics we do have. Fitting an appropriate power source to it is probably the biggest hurdle to making it.

I also appreciate how you're not interested in developing weapons. That's wonderful.

Airships are the first thing to come to mind. It would make transport from hub cities quicker. Though I am not entirely sure if it could be done in the same manner I know. It would require wind-aspected crystals.

Truthfully, I miss coffee brewers.

what about transportation when we are on land? there were these goblin carts back home that looked really fun!

There are a few projects I am working on myself, but my mind always goes to devices that could be rather helpful to everyday life.

Such as portable lamps that are electric and thus last longer than a fire torch or lamp some may rely on. They could even be later developed to be larger and work as lights on ships at night when there may be no natural source due to cloudy weather.

Easy to turn on and off. Simple perhaps, but it could make life just that smallest bit easier.

I hope you know that if all this work interferes with our "breakfasts", I am not against tossing it all into the ocean.

Too bad she doesn't remember how to make things private.]
